The Proel DM220 features an integrated on/off switch for convenient control. To activate the microphone, slide the switch to the 'ON' position. To deactivate, slide it to the 'OFF' position. Always ensure the microphone is off when not in use to prevent accidental sound capture or feedback.

4.2 Mikrofonoaren kokapena

Due to its cardioid polar pattern, the DM220 is most sensitive to sounds directly in front of it and rejects sounds from the sides and rear. For optimal vocal performance, position the microphone directly in front of the sound source (e.g., singer's mouth) at a distance of 2-6 inches (5-15 cm). Experiment with distance to achieve the desired tone and to minimize plosive sounds (P, B sounds).
